WHEN HE FINISHED, HE EARNED EVERY MERIT BADGE AVAILABLE. ALL 137 OF THEM. LESS THAN 350 HAVE ACHIEVED THAT FEET. CBS 13'S NEW STEVE LARGE IS LIVE IN SACRAMENTO TONIGHT WITH WHAT MADE THIS TEENAGER SO DETERMINED. STEVE? Reporter: LIVE IN FRONT OF THE BOY SCOUTS HEADQUARTERS. THIS TEENAGER SAYS HE WAS READING THE NEW YORK TIMES AND READ THE STORY ABOUT A BOY SCOUT WHO DID THIS.

HE SAID WHY NOT ME TOO. IT IS AN UNUSUAL LOOK FOR ANY EAGLE SCOUT. LOOK AT HIS EAGLE SCOUT UNIFORM Sash. OBTAINED 137 BADGES. THAT'S ALL. 333 PEOPLE, INCLUDING ME, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE ALL THE BADGES SINCE 1910. 107 YEARS. RARE ACHIEVEMENT. THIS IS FLY FISHING. PHOTOGRAPHY. FIRE SAFETY. THEATER. MUSIC. Reporter: AT HOME DAD HELPED A LOT. I DID. I HAVE TO SEW THEM ALL. Reporter: BECOME AN EAGLE SCOUT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR. HIS DAD AND GRANDFATHER HAVE ALREADY WON THE DISTINCTION, EVEN THOUGH HE HAS THEM OUTCOMED IN BADGES. I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH HIM AND SO PROUD. Reporter: AN EAGLE SCOUT WHO OBTAINED ALL 137 BADGES.

AND A GREAT BOOST OF CONFIDENCE. BY THE WAY, THE DEADLINE TO EARN BADGES IS YOUR 18TH BIRTHDAY. THE DAY BEFORE YOUR 18TH BIRTHDAY YOU STILL NEEDED FOUR MORE BADGES TO GET THEM ALL. She did a 15 hour day and got them all done. I'M VERY IMPRESSED.
